Staging Guide

Stage Your Home to Sell

Practical staging advice to help your Atlanta home shine in listing photos and tours — and attract serious buyers.

Start With a Clean Slate

Declutter every room, closet, and storage space — buyers open everything.
Pack away personal photos and collections so buyers picture their own life there.
Remove excess furniture to make rooms feel larger and more open.

Deep Clean Until It Shines

Professionally clean carpets and hard floors.
Scrub kitchens and bathrooms — buyers judge a home by these rooms.
Clean windows inside and out to maximize light and brightness.
Don't forget baseboards, blinds, and ceiling fans.

Stage for Space & Flow

Use light, neutral colors for bedding, towels, and accessories.
Arrange furniture to create clear walkways and define each room's purpose.
Add a few plants or fresh flowers for warmth and life.
Set the dining table or style a coffee table to suggest a lifestyle.

Maximize Light

Open all curtains and blinds before photos and showings.
Turn on every light, even during the day, for a bright, welcoming feel.
Replace mismatched or dim bulbs with bright, consistent ones.
Consider adding lamps to dark corners.

Get Photoshoot-Ready

Hide everyday items — mail, shoes, pet bowls, toiletries, and chargers.
Make beds neatly and plump the pillows.
Tidy outdoor areas — patios, decks, and front porches photograph beautifully.
A pre-listing walkthrough with your agent ensures nothing is missed before the camera arrives.
